Abstract
A wearable device includes an electrophoretic panel and a processing circuit that performs a display process of the electrophoretic panel. The processing circuit performs a second display process different from a first display process performed in a first state when an activity state of a user is determined to transition from the first state to a second state different from the first state.
Claims12
A wearable device comprising:
- an electrophoretic panel;
- and
- processor configured to:
- perform a first display process on the electrophoretic panel in a first activity state of a user;
- and
- perform a second display process different from the first display process when an activity state of the user is determined to transition from the first activity state to a second activity state different from the first activity state,
- wherein the second display process is updating a display object displayed on a given display region of the electrophoretic panel, and the first display process is updating a display object displayed on a display region other than the given display region,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region is only displayed in the second display process, the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region is only displayed in the first display process,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region and the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region represent the same information,
- wherein a number of display updates of the given display region in the second display process is equal to a number of display updates of the display region other than the given display region in the first display process in order to reduce a difference in degree of progress of deterioration in the electrophoretic panel, and
- wherein the second activity state is a state in which an activity amount of the user is different from in the first activity state.

A method of controlling a wearable device including an electrophoretic panel, the method comprising:
- performing a first display process on the electrophoretic panel in a first activity state of a user;
- and
- performing a second display process different from the first display process when an activity state of the user is determined to transition from the first activity state to a second activity state different from the first activity state,
- wherein the second display process is updating a display object displayed on a given display region of the electrophoretic panel, and the first display process is updating a display object displayed on a display region other than the given display region,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region is only displayed in the second display process, the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region is only displayed in the first display process,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region and the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region represent the same information,
- wherein a number of display updates of the given display region in the second display process is equal to a number of display updates of the display region other than the given display region in the first display process in order to reduce a difference in degree of progress of deterioration in the electrophoretic panel, and
- wherein the second activity state is a state in which an activity amount of the user is different from in the first activity state.

A wearable device comprising:
- an electrophoretic panel;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- determine whether a user is engaged in a first activity state or a second activity state different from the first activity state;
- perform a first display process on the electrophoretic panel during the first activity state;
- and
- perform a second display process different from the first display process when an activity state of the user is determined to transition from the first activity state to the second activity state,
- wherein the second display process is updating a display object displayed on a given display region of the electrophoretic panel, and the first display process is updating a display object displayed on a display region other than the given display region,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region is only displayed in the second display process, the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region is only displayed in the first display process,
- wherein the display object displayed on a given display region and the display object displayed on the display region other than the given display region represent the same information,
- wherein a number of display updates of the given display region in the second display process is equal to a number of display updates of the display region other than the given display region in the first display process in order to reduce a difference in degree of progress of deterioration in the electrophoretic panel, and
- wherein the second activity state is a state in which an activity amount of the user is different from in the first activity state.
